I am lovin’ it!!
She has tackled clothing decluttering, drawer and cabinet decluttering, and touched on cleaning routines.
I am VERY motivated, thanks to her posts.
Here is my progress so far:
Clothing Decluttering
I didn’t get this done yet, but making some major plans to!:) One more load of laundry to go, then once all is hung up, my plan is to have my 3 girls who are all old enough, to go to their own closets and take out whatever they do not wear, and the clothes that ‘scream’ winter. I will then visit each room to approve of their selection. I will have a bag in hand to put the unwanted clothes, and a large bin for storing the winter clothes. This was my plan a couple weeks ago, but alas, here we are and it is not done–YET!
My husband, Todd, did his own closet about a month ago.
Mine is to the point where I can barely shut it, so we all know who is the problem with this one!!;) ME!!!
Drawer and Cabinet Decluttering
I did great with this one. I give my girls 3 chores on our white board, after school each day. This week, I made sure some of those chores were a drawer or a part of a closet. This really helped me out, once I saw some progress, it lit a fire under me and off I went! I got our hall closet done, several drawers/cabinets in the kitchen, and both bathroom cabinets done.
Cleaning Routines
I am in the process of making a homemaking binder with Clean Mama’s printables. I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM!! I will let you know how it works out for me as I start using them. She sure has a way of making everything look so pretty, it makes me want to use them and get something done around here!
This week, I love her pick 3 challenge. I was not going to share my 3 because then I would have accountability, but isn’t that the point of our AP Tuesdays??!! Ok, here they are:
1. my car trunk
2. organizing my closet
3. clean under my kitchen sink cabinet
{so #2 and #3 technically should have been done in week 1 (clothing declutter) and week 2 (cabinets and closets), but this is not about doing it perfectly, it is about getting something done!}

March 16, 2011 at 1:36 amI just checked out the cheezit recipe! On my list, sister, although I don’t need it at all. I’m trying to lose weight, not gain, but thanks for sharing anyway.
Love your big, sweet, faithful heart. You’re almost “home” sister. Your “six months” keeps pulsing, but the finish line is in the distance. Keep focused and keep fighting.

March 15, 2011 at 3:38 pmWell, I couldn’t decide between themes…I have been SO wanting to do this project that I decided to add it to the anti-procrastination theme. Plus it made me get up off my duff and do something, which is always good. 🙂
I love the most linked posts this week. Great tips! And I’m so glad you’re getting some things cleaned out. That always makes me feel better! Thanks Amy. Lisa~
